TONY - I am impressed. I went through all the prime numbers (I thought) through 1000 and gave up. You are the Jedi Master of numbers!

[Kristine Strasburger]

Wow, Team, the milestones and accomplishments these past couple of days are just too numerous to mention. Way to go, Team!

And thanks for all the feedback on the rowing hours question, everyone.

At the midnight hour, crew welcomes a new team member into the lunar rowing ship! Crew now set at 75 members! Thank you to all who are rowing with the Luna-Tics in this challenge! Stellar achievements!

Meanwhile back on earth, Space Commanders meet to discuss the Lunar Electric Rover. We'll need this once we get to the moon! Space reporter Christopher Fotos reports from his Space Symposium blog in Aviation Week:

One concept that is in NASA's current plans is a Lunar Electric Rover. This small pressurized rover is about the size of a pickup truck (with 12 wheels) and can house two astronauts for up to 14 days with sleeping and sanitary facilities. It is designed to require little or no maintenance, be able to travel thousands of miles climbing over rocks and up 40 degree slopes during its ten-year life exploring the harsh surface of the moon. The rover frame was developed in conjunction with an off-road race truck team and was field tested in the desert Southwest by driving on rough lava." Here's the link if you'd like to take a look at this!
